Ten Thousand Tstotschkes. A store whose concept I like in principle - provide a market for…read moreindividual craftsmen throughout the world for some kind of reasonable compensation, thereby preventing industrialization, loss of native heritage skills, and stimulating development. So if you want to pay $80 for a cotton print tablecloth, in theory you can be helping the world out. Oh, the problems in execution, though. They can't really tell you how much of the money goes back to the native craftspeople, nor much about the sourcing or labor conditions. It's like Fair Trade coffee - you have to take somebody's word for it, and the word is passed along by the telephone game. I'd actually be willing to do this on faith if the crafts and items here were really unique or even to my taste, but they seem a bit mass-produced to me and without the hallmarks of individual craftsmen, so I'm not only not terribly interested in the goods but I'm highly suspicious of the general claims. This may seem a bit scroogey of me, but I think on the whole if I want to stimulate development in the third world I'll extend a microloan over the internet (very direct and very cost-effective) or buy somebody a share of a goat. I would normally just settle on the usual three stars, given my cynical skepticism above, but the hideously steep prices push it from "would go back and check it out occasionally" to "not going to bother" territory.

This wonderful novelty toy store is brimming with popular and unique offerings for all ages. My…read morenine year old granddaughter and I had a wonderful time browsing. We only had 45 minutes to shop which was not enough time to check out everything, but with the guidance of the friendly, knowledgeable owner, we spent our time well. We selected fidgets for her, presents for her cousins as well as several games to bring on our annual family vacation in Narragansett, RI. It was great to be able to ask the store owner about items and get informed responses. It was much better than shopping online and searching for questionable product reviews. Again, we chose to support a small local business!

When I first walked, in, I thought it was mostly for kids, but as I strolled around, I was amazed in a good way at the inventory here, including an assortment of smaller games (card, dice, social, party, etc), "grumpy old people" themed socks, a variety of interesting books, and more. There's a lot of things here which I don't necessarily need but are still calling out for some of my discretionary income. I have quite a few friends who would also definitely enjoy coming here when they visit me.

We ordered the breakfast sandwich and turkey cheddar blueberry sandwich. The breakfast sandwich was good and would definitely recommend it., but I was disappointed that I had to get the turkey sandwich from the fridge. I asked if it can be heated and they asked me how would I like it heated? So I had it microwaved ..anyway, the sandwich itself was good but it would taste alot better if the bread was toasted and the cheese melted.. The coffee was a bit weak to me. This last part was disappointing...we went in to the gift shop and the older lady was so friendly to everyone else but we did not get any hello or other welcoming gesture. I cant help but wonder if she was racist.

I am very pleased with the swivel chair I bought for my LR. And I just received the Amish made solid Cherry bed I ordered. Beautiful! I could select from over 20 wood finishes! Service is A+. Friendly and knowledgeable! Helpful: Scott let me borrow a metal bed frame until my bed arrived. Communication is excellent. Easy to contact, and you speak to an actual person, the owner. Delivery was efficient and competent. Experienced deliverymen. Prices are competitive and fair value. Selection is outstanding. For example, I could select from over 100 upholstery fabrics for the chair I selected. In addition to the showrooms, there are numerous catalogs available online and paper copy. Support small local businesses when you can, especially when they are far better choices than the chain stores.

High-quality All-American-made furniture store set in an actual old barn, that also sells…read moreupholstery fabrics by the yard. The styles are mostly traditional American - Shaker, country, and simpler styles, not the more elaborate 19th century American variations on Victorian and pre-war overstuffed - but they do include a lot of fairly stodgy upholstered styles as well. They claim mostly Amish manufacturers, in small lots, and the basic woods are (supposedly) all American-grown - cherry, oak, walnut, hickory, and pine in evidence, not sure about maple and cedar, but the staff say they can order almost any piece in one of the basic woods. The owners are also the sales staff so it's a true small business. The only thing not great about Kugler's is the prices, which are full boat retail price. As in, $300 for a small cabinet, $1000 for a small dining room table, $1500 for an armchair, just for a sample. These are not outliers; they're typical. I've bought unfinished pieces of similar manufactured Amish origin at Adirondack unfinished for significantly less, but - those are unfinished and unupholstered, and the quality isn't really quite as high as the basic stuff at Kugler's. So it's not quite a competition so much as different ends of the same spectrum in the same basic vein. The true differentiator may be that you basically are going to be able to custom-order a piece with the wood, finish, and upholstery of your choice, for the most part; it's not true custom furniture as you're ordering a known type or style but it's pretty close in terms of customization within the range of choices. And they do have some very nice pieces. I'm a little reluctant to go to four stars without some evidence as to the long-term quality of the furniture, but then again you'd be waiting a while for that, presumably, so consider this a placemarker review in the meantime. But I also note I can't really afford to shop here for anything big, so I am out of my league - take that for whatever it's worth in terms of the star rating or the credibility of this reviewer.

They have large carts to load plants onto. The carts actually moved along smoothly. A knowledgeable staff member Kenny circulated to answer all of the questions customers had. He was patient and helpful. Purchased: Beautiful deep pink Hibiscus Tree for the Deck Organic Tomato Plants Dwarf Marigolds, Portulocca, and large red Spikes for pots on the front porch. Potting Soil A staff worker packed my car with plants and four bags of potting soil. There was a bee on a Marigold flower, and I asked him to get it to fly away. He did. The large Greenhouses were stocked with blooming healthy annuals and perennials. It was a sea of beautiful floral colors. One of the three Greenhouses had vegetable plants and herbs. They did not have Italian Flat Leaf Parsley, so I will look for it elsewhere. Checkout was organized and efficient. There were three checkout stations!
